Hey you Jani.....My goats only eat out of cans as well.  Tons of grain placed in them to keep the rodents at bay.  The poor things never get to chew on can as well.

 

Jackie that's a beautiful cat!

 

Hugs,

He is cute.  I miss having cats.  Our dogs do not do well with them so that's were we are.  I love dogs just as much  LOL

 

S'okay. His name is Bodhi by the way. Not my fault, that's the name he came with. Like all my cats, he's a foundling. Anyway, that particular cat HATES dogs with a passion. I had both growing up and they got along famously. I don't mind dogs, but cats and I have a certain understanding. I much prefer their energy. Besides, Susan and I don't have time to properly raise a puppy.

 

Hugs!

That is such a good name, from Bodhisattva. (a person who is able to reach nirvana but delays doing so out of compassion in order to save suffering beings.)   I like cats too but cannot live with them any longer due to my lung issues.

Well that big storm that hitting everyone has hit New England and travel the past couple days have been terrible.  My commutes were long enough traveling at 60-65 mph.  Now I'm going a blistering 15 mph.  I am always grateful for snow plows but not being behind them.  LOL

So my coffee ran out well before I got to work both days.  

I hope everyone else is staying safe and warm.

Down here by the coast it was a mix of sleet and snow so only a couple inches of accumulation.  Going to fire up the loader soon and clear the driveway and mailbox area.  Drive carefully @ShawnaLeigh.

A balmy 9 above right now. To flipping cold for this girl. On days like this I just want to stay in the house not going anywhere. May go out and see if I can get the truck started. I think it is the key chip, which I removed and taped above the lock cylinder. Electrical tape gets hard when cold, and it may have moved. 

 

Tomorrow Me and the wife go to Scottsbluff, NE. To visit my middle son. Then head to visit my oldest in Lincoln on the second.

 

Everyone traveling be safe and keep warm.

I drove around a bit this afternoon, post coffee.

Lots of traffic. Can't say I enjoy iy, but the scenery was wonderful - bright sunny day in the Ozarks, temps in 40s and 50s.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!

Yep! We're fortunate to be in Sweden for the new year but we're currently holed up in our hotel room streaming the Rose Parade live from warm Pasadena California. Love the pretty floats and flowers!!

Didn't get to see the Rose parade this morning. We left for Scottsbluff. Here now with my grandson staying with us. Went swimming, pool was empty beside the four of us.

 

But the Rose parade brings back good memories, My oldest son performed with the Wyoming all state High School marching band in 2004.

Good morning! Coffee is so good on this grey dreary (dreich) day!

I have to get some tools and supplies to do some minor craftwork. My studio windows are not very weather tight, so with the heat on it's all I can do to get the temps up to the mid 50s. I'm going to make some removable, light duty interior storm windows to help keep the weather (and the bugs) out.

Wishing everyone a pleasant start to the new decade!

Well I do have a bit of sunshine in my otherwise cloudy start to my new year.  I managed to hit one of my goals for loosing weight!

At my max I was 286 at 5’7”. 
Today I weigh 167.5.  
This was a personal goal as it was my weight when I was honorable discharged from the USAF back in 1997.  
My over all goal is to float someplace between 150-160 and then pray for hips butt and chest.  Lol

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Congratulations! My weight goal is still elusive. I'll make it there. Eventually.

In the meantime, if you happen to corner the hips, butt and chest fairy, I'd like to have a word with her. I didn't receive my portion. ?

Good morning. Already on the road for work, got my coffee to hopefully help me wake up. Kind of a dreary day. Calling for the white stuff tonight or tomorrow. Don’t mind the snow just hate shoveling ?

Hi, we had a good New Years Eve, but a sad New Year’s Day.  Our daughter and granddaughters had to leave to go home.  Even our dog has been mopping.

 

Had some Nescafé this morning.  We are out of ground coffee.  
 

I’m on my way to see if I can get out of this air cast this morning.  Then going to go to Group this evening.  Two hours each way but it’s worth it.  Far better group than any that are closer.  I just can’t go with any regularity.

 

i wish everyone a great year.  May your desires come true.

Are you using anti-track software? I find that mine doesn't play nice with the site.

I have not changed anything so I am not sure.  This is a work laptop that I use at home and work.  So maybe there was some update.  I had noticed that even while on my personal phone I am having it go in and out.

Could be the WiFi at the hospitals too.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
